URL call during refreshLinks.php

[Firefishy]

The OpenStreetMap wiki we run maintenance task refreshLinks.php weekly.

It seems refreshLinks.php + OSMCALWikiWidget results in some pages polling osmcal.org

PHP Warning:  file_get_contents(https://osmcal.org/api/v2/events/?in=United States of America): Failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request
 in /srv/wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/extensions/OSMCALWikiWidget/includes/OSMCALWidget.php on line 36
PHP Warning:  foreach() argument must be of type array|object, null given in /srv/wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/extensions/OSMCALWikiWidget/includes/OSMCALWidget.php on line 41

Is it possible to disable the polling of osmcal.org when running refreshLinks.php if it isn't absolutely needed?

Hi! Sorry for leaving this open for so long – I was moving house at the time of filing and then forgot about it.

I am not sure what refreshLinks.php is doing. MediaWiki does cache the widget's content and refreshes it from time to time, does refreshLinks hook into that?

It looks to me that it might be an issue with URL encoding: There are spaces in the URL are there, but I think they should be %20. Well, I guess I gotta do some PHP…
